INTRODUCTION Screen printing is one of the famous as well as expensive method of printing. It is a printing technique whereby a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. This technique is also known as silkscreen printing because silk was used in the process prior to the invention of polyester mesh.
WORKING OF SCREEN PRINTING There are two main things that are required during the process of screen printing: 1) Silkscreen or stencils. 2) Printing Ink. The process of screen printing begins by placing multiple silkscreens or stencils over whatever material you want to print your design on i.e., one screen for each color.
